WOODMEN OIROLE
P. H. S. defeated Genoa for-the
second time this year. Genoa
claims the championship of Ottawa
county. Few were present to wit
ness tho defeat which was by far
the best game pf the season. Every
player played a fine game, the
score being 24 to 7. Genoa was
lucky enough to get away with a
forward pass.
The features of the .game were
the long runs made by the back
field. Thornton caught a punt
and ran 65 yards for a touch down.
Wiser went through the line 80
yards for another touch down.
Touch downs, Thornton 2, Wiser
and Dibling.
This Friday P. H. S. will play
Bloomdale at the ball park. Bloom
dale has a heavy team and a good
game is expected. Everybody
come and witness a good game of
foot ball. This may be the last
game of the season at home so
every one out for it.
The boys of P. H. S. are loyal
and faithful citizens. On Tuesday
afternoon a large group of stud
ents accompanied by their teachers
volunteered as workers for the
construction work on Pine street.
A very interesting and pleasur
able, program was given by Athen
ian Literary society.
Rev. Swank will address the
high school Friday at 1 o'clock.
Grade Seven
A great many thrilling ex
periences do we have but every
day something more thrilling
seems to happen. However, noth
ing short of a green-eyed monster
with cactus horns and tail could so
much as frighten one fair damsel
in this grade An incident giving
proof to this statement I shall re
late: Wednesday morninc while
every one in the room maintained
a death-like silence a pretty fem
inine hand arose beckoning the
teacher's attention, but in a most
dignified and quiet manner. The'
teacher judging from the vague,
uninterested look on the maiden's
face, that perhaps she wished to iir
quire as to what day school would
close next spring or something less
definite. Instead to the dismay of
every one present she (Vera
Scheider, if you please) quietly ut
tered, "Mrs. Haywood, there's a
mouse under my desk."
Sixth Grade
The Sixth Grade pupils all sym
pathized with Alice Budd, the past
week in the loss of her home. Alice
was as calm as if nothing unusual
had. happened and wore her usual
smile. She showed remarkable
self control.
Alan Williams brought to school
this week a very pretty and elab
orate wren house of his own design
and manufacture. It certainly will
delight the wrens who are so fort
unate as to find it first.
Robert Beck, of Toledo, entered
the sixth grade last Monday and
has cast his lot with us.
Dora Plummer was out because
of sickness one day last week for
the first time this year.
Miss Whitman visited this grade
last Wednesday.
Third Grade
Yes, we designed those covers
that you may see in our rooms. -
In our review of spelling the fol
lowing received "A" grade:
Martha Fahrer, Mary Ford, Lyn
dall Yoder, Lola Schwinden, Ruby
Tippen, Ivoe Smith, Helen Troyer,
Jack McCaslin, Roger Sarver,
Laurel Lyons, Norman Sweet, Har
lan Kille.
Philip Sutter is absent again as
members of his family are sick.
Lavern Kopp, Jack McCaslin
and Bert Robinson have each built
a log cabin. They display a
marked degree of skill.
The moving pictures at the
Methodist church last Sunday eve
ning included several reels of war
and victory films produced by the
Photographic Department of the
United States Army. The over
seas scenes were of those sections
and activities which the 37th
Division soldiers had a part. War
with its mud and grime and end
less hardships was vividly .por
trayed. Other reels displayed in
panorama the victory parade in
which the soldiers in the streets of
New York celebrated the fineness
of peace. All were striking pre
sentations of the worst and best of
the most strenuous obligation of
good citizenship to war for the
preservation of human rights and
liberties. And the American
army still needs men to serve the
nation in these heroic tasks. In
struction is given and patriotism
aroused by the display of these
films. "Bobby Bumps at the Den
tists" gave a spice of. fun to an en
joyable evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Webb, who

COMING AUCTIONS
THE OLDEST SUBSCRIBER
"Say," said Mr. P. L. Mahr 'as
he breezed into the Journal office
last Saturday, "figgers don't lie,
do they?" That depends on who
makes the "figgers" said the
scribe.
"Well, I don't agree with you
on that oldest subscriber business
by a long shot," said Mr. Mahr.
"The fact is, I came to Perrysburg
on the 13th of March, 1854 and in
the following spring I subscribed
for the Journal and have taken it
ever since, which will make it 65
years next spring. Now that looks
to me as though I had VanHellen
beat by some several years."
All right, friend Mahr, you hold
the medal up to the present time,
but there's no telling how soon
some other citizen will produce the
"figgers" to put you in the dis
card. Who's record is better than
Mr. Mahr's, is what the Journal
would like to know.

Grange Pie Social
Ft. Meigs Grange, No. 2125 cor
dially invites all members and their
friends to a pie social to be held, at
the Grange hall tonight (Thursday
Given by the evening,) November 20. Everybody
come.
An extraordinary spirit of com
munity service and good fellowship
was shown on Tuesday, when about
50 or 60 of Perrysburg'8 citizens
turned out voluntarily to repair the
two cross Btreets Pine and Hick
ory which connect the fine Second
street pavement with "Shell Hole
Aevnue" or Front street.
Gravel was hauled from the river
bed at the end of Green Lane by
teams and trucks donated for the
day by following:
E. L. Kingsbury, truck.
A. Ballantyne, team and wagon.
Geo. Weiland, team and wagon.
William Mills, team and wagon.
Henry Kazmaier, truck.
R. C. Pew, truck.
J. H. Wilson, truck.
Fred Loomis, truck. ,
W. S. Walbridge, truck.
George R. Ford, truck.
E. L. Clay, truck.
About twenty-five men worked
faithfully in the gravel pit filling
the trucks and wagons, while ten
or twelve, each on the cross streets,
leveled the new roads.
Sufficient gravel was placed on
these connecting links to a better
route through Perrysburg to make
it passable ror the coming winter,
and it is hoped to permanently im
prove the streets in the spring.
Several loads of gravel were scat
tered on Front street, filling up
numerous shell-holes.
The men who donated their ser
vices, deserve untold credit) but
were paralled by the ladies of the
town who are never to be outdone,
the Perrysburg Woman's Commun
ity League served to the workers
lunches in the fore and afternoon
with a sumptous dinner at noon
time, at the Civic Association hall.
The day's accomplishment goes
to show what can be done if people
will forget greed and practice self
denial to help a worthy cause. Per
rysburg again boasts of it's worthy
loyal citizens. -
